Page 10 12/10 In Memoriam Lisa Marie Casner December 18, 1964 - November 17, 2010 Loving wife, wonderful mom, loving friend, an amazing woman we will never forget … Lisa was born to Bobby Joe Ball and Diane Phillips in Mariposa, Calif. She attended Mariposa High School and graduated in 1983. Lisa and her husband, David Casner, were childhood friends that reunited in 1995. They married in 1997 and together they ran Castech Pest Services. Lisa was the voice on the phone after hours for many a client and friend. In 2000, they built a home in the Ranchos and raised their six children and a few extras. David and Lisa have two children, Connor and Courtney, and David has two children Lisa loved as her own, Lindsie and Clayton. Lisa also had two children, Matthew and Miranda, from a previous marriage. They now share six wonderful grandchildren. Lisa was a free spirit who loved life, adventure, people and nature. Her selfless acts of kindness and friendship will always be remembered by many. Her love for Jesus was always on her sleeve and she was never afraid to share it with anyone in need. Lisa loved camping, beaches, warm ocean waters and traveling to new places. Lisa loved gardening, animals, wine and her bunco buddies. She could always light up a room with her contagious smile and vibrant energy, and she always saw the silver lining, even in the darkest of days. The world was a brighter place with her in it. We will all continue to love and miss our beautiful, spunky Lisa. Our family would like to thank the Ranchos community for all their love and support in this difficult time. The prayers, friendship, phone calls, hard work and meals have been great reminders of the love she shared with all, and have helped to sustain us through the hardest tasks that we have ever had to undertake. Thank you all. “This shall be a sign unto you; you will find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.” Luke 2:12 We invite you to join us in Worship to celebrate the gifts of Christmas: Hope! Peace! Joy! Love!

I still don't have a computer, BUT one of Santa's elves brought my tower back the other night knowing that it worked when he took it from the shop. After about an hour of pushing plugs, and a few swear words in between, he finally determined that my monitor is shot! Must have happened at the same time the tower bombed. I miss writing the article, but I'm hoping to start the new year with a new computer. Until I talk to you again, Have a Blessed Christmas and the Happiest and most Prosperous New Year ever! Jean Soup Time Have you ever heard “It’s sandwich weather” or “It’s dessert weather”? I haven’t either, but you probably have heard, “It’s soup weather.” It got below freezing a couple of nights and it has been raining off and on now for the past week, so it is definitely “soup weather.” Soup can be made with or without meat and just about any kind of vegetables. It can be made with water, stock or milk. Putting all that together, the possibilities are limitless. After Thanksgiving there is always turkey soup, but you don’t have to wait until the turkey is devoured and only the ugly bones are left. I’m not fond of cooking the carcass for soup anyway – it is just too much work. I’m always afraid of those little bones getting into the broth so we take as much meat off the bones as possible, toss the carcass and freeze the meat until time to make soup. If I were to use the bones, I would definitely strain the broth before using it. This is my favorite way to make turkey soup without using the stock from the turkey carcass. Page 11 Turkey Soup 2 cans chicken stock 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes 1 16 oz. pkg. frozen mixed vegetables Half medium onion – chopped 1 cup diced carrots Couple of potatoes peeled and diced ½ cup alphabet or star macaroni 1 can cream style corn Half small head of cabbage sliced & chopped Leftover turkey pulled into small pieces Salt and pepper to taste Pour the stock into a large soup pot. Add the tomatoes and mixed vegetables and the chopped onion. Add enough water to cover vegetables well. Add salt and pepper to taste. Bring to a boil and turn burner down to simmer for about 25 minutes. Add the carrots and simmer another 10 minutes before adding the potatoes. Taste to see if more salt & pepper is needed. Add more water (or another can of stock) as you go to cover the vegetables well. Let this simmer until the tomatoes have broken down and the frozen vegetables have softened – this should take about 45 minutes to an hour. Turn the heat up to a low boil and add the macaroni. You should stir this because the macaroni tends to stick to the bottom of the pot. As soon as the macaroni is done, turn the fire back down to a simmer and add the cream corn, and the cabbage. When all this is cooked, add the turkey and simmer until the meat is hot. I know you could throw everything into the pot all at once, but I feel it just tastes better cooked in layers. And remember, this is my recipe so I want you to personalize it as you like. I love cooked carrots, that’s why I add additional carrots. If you or your family doesn’t like something I have listed, don’t use it. If you like something else – put it in. Another thing, if you don’t have any leftover turkey use a couple of boiled chicken breasts. If you boil chicken for the soup, be sure to use that liquid in your soup instead of water. We also had a ham for Thanksgiving. When most of the meat was trimmed off, I got the bone to make split pea soup. One of the simplest soups to make except you have to Please see RECIPE on P. 26
